Stillfront: Growth in number of players, increased loyalty

Stillfront Group AB (“Stillfront”) currently has nine game titles, of which eight are online games. In addition, there is a number of long tail games. Stillfront continuously monitors the number of active users of the online games on a monthly basis (MAU – Monthly Active User) and daily basis (DAU – Daily Active User).

During the second quarter of 2016, the average number of MAUs was 224,226. The number of DAUs was 69,494 on average during the quarter. The corresponding figures for the second quarter of 2015 were 155,826 MAU and 50,619 DAUs. Thus, the second quarter 2016 achieved an increase of 44% regarding the number of MAU and 37% regarding the number of DAUs as compared with the second quarter of 2015.

During the first quarter of 2016 the average number of MAUs was 278,712 and the average number of DAUs was 80,550. During the second quarter of 2016 the number of MAUs decreased by 19%, and the number of DAUs decreased by 14% as compared with the first quarter of 2016. The improved DAU / MAU ratio – often referred to as stickiness – increased from 29% to 31%, which indicates that the players who were recruited during the second half of 2015 and the initial part of 2016 demonstrate an increasing activity and loyalty. The above numbers pertain to the four largest games as ranked by revenues, i.e. Call of War, Supremacy 1914, ManagerZone Football and ManagerZone Hockey.
